Samuel Dravis Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 It's okay, just buy the single books (Fellowship of the Ring/The Two Towers/Return of the King) and the spines aren't nearly as big. Then you can go through them easily!
martmeister Posted March 10, 2007 Author Posted March 10, 2007 The book was okay, but way too much singing and poem-reciting going on. Was it good as a way to critique the movies? Yes. Was it good enough for me to realistically ever read it again, assuming I don't run out of good reading material? No. Unfortunately, it will sit on my shelf as a (albeit paperback) collector's item. ...Now that I think about it, maybe I should've just borrowed it from a friend. I read it partially to get the jist on the DnD world.
turtlefreak Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Dude. I couldn't even sit through the movie! My butt started hurting when they killed the old guy. I left after that....
Samuel Dravis Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 There is one thing I have to say to you Tolkien-hating, Tolkien-ripoff-loving, non appreciative people: WEIRDOS. Tolkien created the modern fantasy genre.
martmeister Posted March 10, 2007 Author Posted March 10, 2007 Well, the DnD world and World of Warcraft are based off of it. However, I disagree with the whole "intelligent" orcs in the Warcraft universe. I think they've always had low-ass intelligence until Blizzard decides to do their own friggin' thing with it. And shaman trolls?! Plz!!
Grey Master Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 ^Ditto An accomplishment was to pass all my HS classes, and now Im off to college.
martmeister Posted March 19, 2007 Author Posted March 19, 2007 I fixed the radio in my car. I thought when fuses blow, they're still there. The fuse was just missing. I'm either hoping it's usual for them to just evaporate in thin air when they've gone bad b/c I really can't see why someone would get into my car, pop the trunk, only to steal A fuse.
Ray Jones Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 WEIRDOS.Are you sure you chose the right word? We must differ, do you mean weirdos, or whackos? To give you a quick update on the topic:Weirdo: Someone who hides under your car in a dark parking lot because they're waiting to grab you. Whacko: Someone who hides under your car in a dark parking lot because they feel safe there. So?
Samuel Dravis Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 So?Okay, I agree. they're whackos. Where is Zoom anyway?
Ray Jones Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 I don't know. :/ Maybe on a secret submarine mission, or he's got a girlfriend. Or he's taking his pills again ;

Davinq Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Noooooooo! Quote not the Beatles! U2 is the better of the oldies bands!
DarthAve Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Beatles > U2 I mean c'mon. Who can take a band seriously that has a song called 'Lemon'?
Samuel Dravis Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Noooooooo! Quote not the Beatles! U2 is the better of the oldies bands!Davinq wins, that's the end. U2 is better. I like U2 partially because they wear cool glasses and partially because they have the same name as a sweet airplane and the last partially because I like Sunday Bloody Sunday and most of their 80's stuff. I do like that one Mary song by the Beatles tho.
martmeister Posted March 20, 2007 Author Posted March 20, 2007 I like U2 better, though The Beatles probably still have a larger following and do kick much arse. Eventually, U2 will overtake 'em. I think I know about every Beatles song.

martmeister Posted March 21, 2007 Author Posted March 21, 2007 I got a speeding ticket and ended up hiring an attorney myself. I'd hoped that I could get all this taken care of without parents' knowledge (car insurance is cheaper as multi-vehicle and yes, I do pay my own share of insurance). Unfortunately, all the various lawyer letters were sent to my home address, so I had to spill the beans to them. Success at hiring a lawyer myself; failure at keeping info to self. Okay, so I guess they zero each other out.
